Tamiya 46609 RTR Mercedes-Benz 190E TT-01ES Classic Touring Car  [46609]

Heritage on Four Wheels: Tamiya 46609 Mercedes 190E

The Tamiya 46609 RTR Mercedes-Benz 190E celebrates a pivotal era in touring car racing. The original 190E won attention with its potent 16-valve engine and the Evolution II race variants, and Tamiya recreates that character in compact 1/10 scale for model fans and collectors.

Proven TT-01ES Running Gear

Mounted on the reliable TT-01ES chassis, this RTR keeps the familiar TT-01 type E layout while simplifying maintenance and upgrades. The platform accepts many Tamiya Option Parts, and the four-wheel shaft drive delivers consistent traction and predictable handling across mixed surfaces.

Authentic Styling and Scale Detail

Exterior detail is faithfully reproduced on the painted polycarbonate body, finished in black and fitted with exterior mirrors and a rear wing that match the road car's profile. The treaded tyres and 6-spoke grey wheels contribute to a convincing scale appearance that stands out on display or track.

Ready-to-Run Convenience for Hobbyists

This kit comes ready-to-run with a Tamiya TEU-104BK ESC with reverse and a standard 540 motor installed for reliable power delivery. Friction shocks and independent double wishbone suspension provide a simple, durable setup. Camber and caster are fixed, making the car easy to drive straight out of the box.

The Tamiya 46609 RTR Mercedes-Benz 190E is a solid pick for hobbyists who want a period-correct touring car with easy maintenance and scope for bolt-on upgrades. It works well as a display model and as an entry-level racer for club or casual use.
